Rasheed played an incredible couple of games in the last two wins for the Celtics.  Particularly in Game 4, he was an animal on defense, and covering the glass.  Sure, he hit a big 3 in Game 4, but it was his defensive presence that made him invaluable.

I can't confess to being a Sheed fan in general, but he has really "brought it" this series.  Really impressed.

I'm looking for one more big effort from Sheed on the low post defense, keeping Gasol on his heels, altering shots, and attacking the boards.  If he scores in the flow of the offense, wonderful...but the D is what we need from Sheed.

One more solid night, and it's PARTY TIME!

Over the last three series, Rasheed has totally justified his signing.  We arguably overpaid, but Rasheed has been an impact player.

Could not agree more. Sheed has been a tremendous asset in the last three series.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."
